Abstract
A position adjusting means of a link mechanism which hangingly supports a swing joint in three-wheeled motor vehicle having front body laterally swingable relative to a rear body. The position adjusting means includes a pair of flexible stops, one being positioned behind one end of a sleeve member which supports a pair of link members, and the other being positioned in front of the sleeve member. These stops are mounted onto a pair of frame members positioned in the front body and extending in parallel along travel direction of the vehicle, or mounted onto one of said frame members so as to position at least one end of said sleeve between the stops. The link members each have an upper end integrally connected to a supporting member and a stop is secured to the lower surface of each supporting member. The supporting members extend in horizontal plane and opposite direction relative to the sleeve along travel direction of the vehicle. The sleeve supports the pair of link members and is concentrically supported by a pivotal shaft through rubber bushes. The both ends of the pivotal shaft is secured by a pair of brackets mounted on the pair of frame members. Upon placement of the stops onto the frame members, the link members provide vertical orientation.
